En el video número 109 de su canal, Federico Madeo presenta una entrevista en profundidad con el GM argentino Hugo Spangenberg, una de las figuras más destacadas del ajedrez rioplatense. A lo largo del encuentro, Spangenberg repasa su trayectoria desde sus inicios hasta consolidarse como campeón argentino a los 18 años —rompiendo el récord de precocidad impuesto por Oscar Panno en 1953— y alcanzando el título de Gran Maestro a los 20. El diálogo permite reconstruir una época rica del ajedrez argentino, atravesada por nombres emblemáticos como Najdorf, Panno, Karpov, Kasparov, Topalov, Cámpara, Quinteros, Tempone, Zarnicki y Oro.
Durante la charla, el GM rememora sus participaciones olímpicas representando a la Argentina en Moscú 1994, Ereván 1996 y Elistá 1998, y comparte anécdotas sobre su regreso de Cuba para disputar —y ganar— el Selectivo Najdorf de 1993, con un destacado 9 en 11. Spangenberg relata también el camino hacia su título de Gran Maestro, alcanzado gracias a sus normas en los torneos Magistral Najdorf 1995 y 1996, y en Villa Gesell 1996.
Más allá del tablero, la entrevista se adentra en otras facetas de su vida: su incursión en el backgammon y su relación con el póker, juegos que —según él— comparten con el ajedrez una misma esencia estratégica y mental. Spangenberg aprovecha el espacio para aclarar su inocencia en una causa judicial que considera injusta y expresa su deseo de volver a competir en una final del Campeonato Argentino, torneo que lo vio consagrarse hace más de tres décadas.
